Executive summary by darmansjah
The Lake District, also commonly known as The Lakes or
(particularly as an adjective) Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West
England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous not only for its lakes,
forests and mountains (or fells), but also for its associations with the early
19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake
Poets.
Historically shared by the counties of Cumberland,
Westmorland and Lancashire, the Lake District now lies entirely within the
modern county of Cumbria. All the land in England higher than three thousand
feet above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the
highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and longest lakes in
England, Wastwater and Windermere, respectively.
